I say let us put man and woman together
To find out which one is smarter
Some say men but I say, no
The women got the men beat, they should know

And not me, but the people they say
The big men are leading the women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the men in every way

That’s right the woman is smarter
That’s right the woman is smarter
That’s right the woman is smarter
That's right
That's right
 
Ever since the world began
Women was always teaching man
And if you listen to my bit attentively
I'm goin' to tell you that she, smarter than he
 
And not me, but the people they say
The big men are leading the women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the men in every way
 
Garden of Eden was very nice
Adam never work in paradise
Eve meets snake, paradise gone
She made Adam work from that day on
 
And not me, but the people they say
The big men are leading the women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the men in every way

That’s right the woman is smarter
That’s right the woman is smarter
That’s right the woman is smarter
That's right
That's right
 
Samson was the strongest man long ago
No one could have beat him, as we all know
Until he loved Delilah, Lilah said
All of the strength is in the hair of your head
 
And not me, but the people they say
The big men are leading the women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the men in every way

That’s right the woman is smarter
That’s right the woman is smarter
That’s right the woman is smarter
That's right
That's right
 
You meet a girl at a ballroom dance
Thinking that you would stand a chance
Take her home thinking she's alone
Open the door, you find her mama home
 
And not me, but the people they say
The big men are leading the women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the men in every way
Oh yes, smarter
